Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A subtly perceptive charmer that was Argentina's entry for a best foreign film Oscar and might have been nominated in a less competitive year.
The lessons of this slight human comedy are not groundbreaking, but they do strike a warmly universal chord.
This observant little movie does delicately touch on those unspoken assumptions that animate so many filial relationships. And the wry, soft-spoken tone is a welcome one amid the dysfunctional burlesques Hollywood routinely extrudes.
With its slack plotting, the film itself feels as aimless as its main character.
